US EditionAC Milan Scrape a Point with Genoa After Late Penalty Howler
Rafael Leao scored a stoppage-time equalizer and Genoa missed a last-minute penalty, extending AC Milan's unbeaten Serie A run to 17 matches, officials said.
- On 08/01/2026, AC Milan drew 1-1 with Genoa at the San Siro after late penalty drama, allowing Inter Milan to open a three-point lead.
- Genoa went ahead when Lorenzo Colombo scored just before the half-hour mark, and a challenge by Davide Bartesaghi on Mikael Ellertsson led to a stoppage-time penalty.
- Nicolae Stanciu missed a golden stoppage-time penalty by blasting it over the bar, and Rafael Leao then powered home a header in the second minute of added time to salvage a point for AC Milan.
- Stanciu's miss left Genoa one place and three points above the relegation zone with next matches against Cagliari and Parma, while AC Milan now head to Fiorentina on Sunday.
- Milan coach Massimiliano Allegri said `What we need to learn is that when you score in the last minute you still have four minutes to win the game against a team which has suffered a psychological blow` to DAZN, despite Daniele De Rossi's Genoa resisting Milan's attack.
